Chapter 174
After the nobleman finished speaking, when he looked at Concubine Mei again, he hurriedly made a timid and scared look: "Did the concubine say too much, don't blame the concubine." ”
Xia Rongxin listened carefully to what she said, turned her head to look at Yun Xi again, and Yun Xi also made a very surprised expression.
The two of them were surprised after listening to the nobleman's words, they always thought that the nobleman was timid and stupid, and they didn't even know how to respond when they threw an olive branch to her, but now they were very surprised to hear her carefully analyze their original plan and point out the shortcomings.
Gui Gui and Ah Xun saw that Concubine Mei and Aunt Yun Xi looked at each other but didn't speak for a long time, they were nervous, but fortunately, the hem of their clothes was wide, they quietly wrung their fingers nervously in their sleeves, but their faces were still looking at them calmly.
Especially the nobles, their hearts were as earth-shattering as if a volcano erupted, for fear that Concubine Mei would know about her deal with Concubine Ming, so that she would not be able to complete the task given to her by Concubine Ming.
And although my father, mother and brother have returned to their hometown in Jingzhou at this time, who is the Ming Concubine Niangniang, she is the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion Lu Huiling, and she is one of the favorite concubines of the six palaces now, although the emperor is now busy with official affairs and no longer favors her as before, but as long as the Ming Concubine is willing, isn't it a matter of being caught?
If this matter is not done well, not to mention that the father and mother and their Yin family are implicated, even the nobles themselves will not be able to move an inch in the harem.
Thinking so, fine beads of sweat appeared behind the nobleman, sliding down her bony back along the wide non-fitting clothes, and the nobleman felt this subtle change, and her body slowly stiffened.
But her face was still calm, and her two pairs of bright eyes looked at Mei Guifei like fledglings, and the mouth that looked like Empress Mingxian sent her into the palace compound slowly puffed, looking like a young child who had memorized the three-character scripture and wanted to ask her father and mother for reward.
I don't know how long it took, Xia Rongxin laughed loudly, she turned around and smiled at Yun Xi, then stood up, pulled up the nobleman from her position, took her hand, and said: "In the end, my sister is thoughtful, the palace you said has not been considered, fortunately, you said it early, otherwise these slaves and maids around you can't think of this, there is no one to be cared for..."
Xia Rongxin made a headache, held her forehead with her fingers, shook her head and said, "Tut-tut, that's really a headache." Now it's good, there are nobles who silently consider these things for the palace, and the heart of the palace is really warm, and this cold winter wax moon also makes people feel comfortable. ”
Xia Rongxin and Yun Xi would not just think that the noble people specially came to the Yichun Hall to tell her that this matter was for the sake of the Chinese New Year's Eve palace banquet, and the other concubines wished that Xia Rongxin had better do something, so that the emperor could have the strength to come and see them.
I have long heard that there are changes in the court, and I have heard that Lord Yin Qianhu has embezzled the audience, and now he has been removed from his official position and returned home, and now there is no family support behind him, this huge harem, there is a father who is an official behind a small talent, and only the noble lady's family is now a commoner, if she doesn't find a backer, how can she live in the palace?
Xia Rongxin has the highest position, and it is not uncommon to compete with these on weekdays, but it is meaningless, although her mother's family is not a Beijing official, but it is also the capital of Zhengerpin, and she is now also the imperial concubine, and she has a royal nobleman who does not have any concubines in the palace, and she gave birth to a son and a daughter for the emperor, but she does not compete with these concubines for favor, Xia Rongxin is also prosperous, rich and carefree in the second half of her life.
But now there is a Lu Huiling, just because of her eight-point similar appearance to Empress Mingxian and her immature age, she once favored the harem and overshadowed her limelight, and many concubines in the palace went to her to flatter, and even Ning Guifei and Yan Concubine, who had looked down on her and even insulted her, had already gone to Minghuatang every day to ask for peace.
In the eyes of the harem concubines, although Xia Rongxin has a son under her knees, she was once in charge of the harem and favored the sixth palace, and she is a woman whom the emperor treats sincerely, but after all, she is old and decrepit, if it weren't for the emperor's old feelings, I am afraid that she would not have come to see her a long time ago.
But Lu Huiling is different, she has an outstanding family background, similar appearance to Empress Mingxian, and more importantly, she is young and beautiful, which crushes everyone in the harem.
They went to curry favor with Lu Huiling, hoping to get some benefits from her, hoping to let the emperor see their beautiful faces in her palace.
Xia Rongxin's Yichun Hall was ignored for a while, only a few concubines who had received favors before would come over to say hello, but it didn't take long for them to come again because of the pressure from other concubines.
Xia Rongxin all sighed at the warmth and coldness of people, things are not people, in the former palace, when only Xia Rongxin was a pet, one by one the former servants came to the Yichun Palace to ask for help, but now it is a lot of people.
Xia Rongxin's arrival was very unexpected, and she was also very useful for her gifts, seeing that she was somewhat worried about herself and the palace banquet, she could also listen to it.
And now, Xia Rongxin really needs someone to satisfy her so-called vanity, she can't see Lu Huiling's smug appearance, and now the noble person came at the right time, and what he said was just right, which made Xia Rongxin look happy.
"Don't say that, this is what a concubine should do. The noble concubine and the maiden are worried about the national affairs every day, the family banquet on Chinese New Year's Eve, this is replaced by ordinary people, how can not be done satisfactorily, only the maiden, can think about everything, the concubine thinks left and right, thinking for several nights can be able to come up with such ideas on the basis of the original mother, if there is any dissatisfaction, please ask the maiden not to blame, the concubine is also a good intention, but the heart is more than enough, not as smart as the maiden, not as thoughtful as Aunt Yunxi, in the end it is still a joke. ”
Seeing that Concubine Mei Guifei took her hand and said such thoughtful words, she instantly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and quickly stood up, bowed to Concubine Mei slowly, and said with a flattered face.
"Hey, this is not the idea that this palace came up with, this palace because of this matter, I think that it is a headache, fortunately, there is Yun Xi here by my side, and I said such a way at once, but this palace and Yun Xi always feel that there is something inappropriate, but I can't think of it, but the palace banquet is about to start, and this palace also let the internal affairs office start to prepare, how can I think that the nobles will fall from the sky like timely rain, and it is suddenly enlightening to say such words."
Xia Rongxin smiled, turned around and took Yun Xi's hand, and said to them together: "You two, this time you can make a great contribution." ”
The noble man swallowed nervously, looked up at Aunt Yun Xi, who was standing opposite her, and looked at her with a smile, she also smiled and said: "It turns out that such a wonderful method was thought up by Aunt Yun Xi, it is really a blessing to have you by your side, not like me, there is only a stupid girl like Ah Xun by my side." ”
After that, Ah Xun also cooperated and smirked.
It seems that the people in the palace like to step on the high and low praise, maybe because the palace is full of women, and where there are women, there are comparisons and disputes, as long as others say that you are better than another person, then your vanity will be greatly satisfied.
No one is an exception.
Yun Xi was praised for no reason, and hurriedly smiled innocently, and even saw the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes clearly: "The noble man can torture the slave maid, Miss Ah Xun is smart and intelligent, and she will definitely become a great weapon in the future." ”
And in order not to cause strife, the women in the palace often have a terrible veil on their faces, which can be laughing, angry, low-eyed, or arrogant, can say things they don't like, and can do all irreparable things for their own selfish interests.
These truths should have been understood when Yin Zhi first entered the palace, but she only understands them now.
Originally, she thought that as long as she kept her heart and didn't go along with them, as long as she lived her life well, it didn't matter if she lived this life peacefully, how long and short a person's life was, and peace was also a kind of happiness.
Yin Xue has never thought of fighting with anyone, she likes the handsome and serious emperor, she likes the high-minded and arrogant emperor, but she has never thought of fighting with anyone.
I don't remember how many years it has been in the palace, she has been resting on her laurels and has no contact with the outside world, but just when she wanted to live this life quietly, Lu Huiling's appearance made her unconsciously feel some shaking.
Yin Zhi began to target Lu Huiling with several concubines, and together they became the one she hated the most.
Now for the sake of her family's life, following Lu Huiling's arrangement, Laimei Guifei said in front of her that she didn't know why she said these things.
She listened to Concubine Mei praising her, listening to Yun Xi's flattery, and listening to the happy laughter of the people around them, she felt that she had really changed.
After a period of greetings, Concubine Mei arranged what she had just said in front of the nobleman, and said with a smile: "The nobleman really thinks that it will be very interesting when the time comes, and it can also show those foreign envoys that the women of my Heavenly Dynasty are also the role of women who do not let their eyebrows go." ”
Instead, he instructed Yun Xi to go to the Internal Affairs Office and tell them to stuff cotton cloth at the end of the flat-headed arrow, so as not to accidentally hurt it.
Listening to these words, it was hard to imagine what Concubine Ming wanted to do before the family banquet on Chinese New Year's Eve this year, and she followed up with a sentence: "Don't be careful, don't let people get hurt." ”
"Don't worry, noble man, the slave is still very confident in doing these things." Yun Xi smiled and left.
